Security guards have great responsibilities and duties.
Their job is to protect people and properties. Because of this job description,
they need to have a license since they are the ones who ensure the safety of
the people and properties. This is also to assure the people that they really
know what they are doing.
In order for them to get a security guard license, they need
to undergo rigid security guard training. They need to enroll themselves to an 8 hour
pre-assignment training and to a 16 hour on-the-job training. After they have accomplished these trainings
they are now qualified to have a security guard license. But their training
does not stop here. They need to be trained how to operate detecting devices,
adjust security systems and equipment, write incident reports both on the paper
and on the computer. Aside from these,
they need to be trained how to deal with all kinds of people since they will be
around with people all the time. They need to have the courage to stop and send
out anyone that is a threat to the safety of the people and the property. While they are already working, they have to
accomplish an 8 hour training every year. This is a refresher course and it is
mandatory by the law.
